Athletics is a fun, social and active program for all ages. Little Athletics is for girls and boys aged 5 to 16 (U7 to U18). We are also pleased to offer a community membership option (U19+) for the continued social participation of 17-year-olds and adults. Our Senior Club is for athletes 11+ (U13 to Open and Masters) wanting to compete at Athletics West Competitions including Strive. We offer competition in a wide range of events including running, jumping, throwing and walking. Events are modified to suit the age of the children participating.

Athletics creates lifelong friendships with a focus on “Be your Best”. We cater for athletes of all abilities as the emphasis is on fun, participation, technique, performance and getting involved with your family and friends in physical activity.
